- We've improved Diagnostics Tool and included it into the Themler Desktop installation.

The Wordpress themes in your directory created by Themler say they're compatible up to WP 3.8.1 Not even WP 4.0? Did you know that Wordpress released 4.3 yesterday? In my company, we hand out content creation to our clients. Sometimes Wordpress can be daunting enough without adding frameworks to it, which is why we really loved Aristeer. Most end-user clients are trying hard enough just to keep up with content creation and in 14 years, we've never had a single client want to tackle theme changes by themselves.

We've updated Themler desktop version yesterday.
It works much better now.

Please check it out.

Your product still does not work, version desktop or embedded particularly plugin Drupal plugin ($48) and your team is in complete denial; In addition what is the philosophy of a product whose use is so complex to use that it is faster to make a template manually? What is the expected productivity ?
If Themler is the future of Artisteer it is clear that it is not my future

Arteisteer team!
Please stop to develio Themler!
It's not good product - verey slow, not finkcionaly.
I'm uninstaled it after 1 day.
Please - do Artisteer better, and not Themler.
We are sont want to renew our licences for Themler, only for Artisteer.

The speed of themler is ok but for me the worst problem is hiw to do things in themler. I tried to create a template in it and i found it difficult so i still use artisteer and finały tweek template manually.

May I suggest you to launch a poll : what should be your priority for developpement ?
You could keep results secret if you want.
This should at least convince you nobody cares themler, but all your customers would prefer developp artisteer

No, a stupid suggestion. It's like asking Microsoft to keep updating Windows XP. The same way Microsoft has moved on from XP, the Artisteer company has moved on from Artisteer and completely focused on Themler.

Here are the facts:

1) Artisteer development has stopped and stopped a long time ago. There has been no new release since August 2014. That's over a year and a half and no updates.

2) The only updates have been to the exporter. That was in March 2015. That's 9 months ago.

3) The company is pushing everyone to Themler. The are releasing a big update soon that will address shortcomings.

4) While there have been no updates to Artisteer, there are almost week updates to Themler. That should tell you something.,

5) They know what their sales are and they seem pretty good if you judge the forum activity. They are not going to waste time doing polls on Artisteer.

Microsoft stopped XP something15 years after launching, vs 6 years for artisteer.
XP updates were free of charge, where Artisteer updates were costly
XP end of support was plannified for a long time, but did artisteer communicate about about the end of artisteer ? If I was aware about artisteer end, I would not have invest in upgrades.

I downloaded the new themler beta to test here in Missouri while I was in town. Later on when I was back out on the farm. I installed it on my laptop and tried to test it. It gave me some sort of error demanding an internet connect.

There is no internet on the farm. No cable for that matter. Unless we get a dish. There is only over the air tv.

Wow... after reading some of thoses comments and having the same problems myself I am conviced I,m wasting time with artisteer. I have just updated a site, published it and now its vanished, just a white screen. The editing area has none of my sites in it at all... a massive problem... If its not sorted today... I,m moving elsewhere, can,t afford the hassle or cost with artisteer...

I changed to Themler about a year ago. It's been downhill since then. My advice is stay away. There's some issue trying to edit on the desktop version, which, BTW, will NOT work if you have no internet connection - at all! Had internet go down for over a day so thought I would build a couple of themes. NOT!

Support has slowed to a crawl (if they don't tell you your post was "invisible for the last 3 days" - yes it happened). Obviously they're stretched as thin or more than Artisteer.

95% of clients wouldn't know a Wordpress from a Joomla from a Drupal from a static website. And they don't care. What they want is a designer who listens and a website that works. Your statement about Joomla "always" a bad idea is nonsense.

You must be a lame webmaster or bad designer. Wordpress is a pile compared to Joomla and you are just lazy giving them Wordpress. Either that or you have 2 clients who are computer illiterate.

I bet to differ. On the contrary, wordpress is rather for the "lazy" one compared with joomla. Although I'm beginning to switch my clients to wordpress, that's because I couldn't have enough time for joomla.

Even a novice web designer can work with wordpress but not everyone can work with joomla. It takes a pro

I don't think it will be back. Seems to be a dead product in terms of development, and the site is just left over for those who may come here to buy it not knowing better, then betting on people figuring on just giving up and not trying to get their money back. I have up a year ago trying to get replies about updating a paid version. Yeah, contact to offer to BUY, and you don't answer...
